Chapter 108 Joy

He Tianshu sighed and said: "Xiao Hua, it's not that I don't want to teach you, but, first, the internal skills and mental methods I learned are only for the disciples of the Piao Miao Sect. They are not allowed to be taught to non-disciples. If you are found to be teaching them privately, not only will I have to teach you, If you are punished by the Discipline Hall, you will also have your martial arts revoked. Secondly, the practice of internal skills and mental skills is no better than boxing. It requires more qualifications. If the qualifications are not good, you may not be able to practice for several years, or you may get injured if you go too far. And life. Did your second brother tell you the same thing? He can’t teach you internal strength either.”

Zhang Xiaohua nodded disappointedly and said, "Yes, the second brother said the same."

He Tianshu touched Zhang Xiaohua's head and said: "Go back. Everyone has his own destiny. God has arranged it. If you have this destiny, maybe you will get what you want in the near future. Otherwise, No matter how hard you try, you still get nothing.”

Zhang Xiaohua lowered her head and followed He Tianshu back in disappointment.

Under the oil lamp, Zhang Xiaohua read a book carefully. This was not a boxing technique, but some books left to him by Li Jinfeng. During the period of recuperation, he had developed a habit of reading some books at night, whether it was Whether it’s a boxing manual or a book, if you don’t read it, something seems to be missing.

I have read all the boxing records that I can read, and I can only read books. There are countless books on the left and right, enough for Zhang Xiaohua to read for a lifetime.

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohua saw in the book "Review the past to learn something new" and "Learn and practice from time to time". Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but feel moved. She put down the book carefully and closed her eyes to think carefully about the boxing rules she had memorized. She did not tell He Tianshu about these today. , and there is no special reason, just like a child who gets his beloved toy will not tell the adults immediately. The child will show it off at an unexpected moment to surprise the adults, and then look at the adults dumbfounded. He looked like he was laughing, that's all.

Zhang Xiaohua also had this intention, but the most important thing was that he still had no confidence in himself and was afraid that he would not be able to practice these boxing skills well. He said now that it would be better to wait until he could really practice it well.

Fortunately, following Zhang Xiaohua's thoughts, the boxing technique was like a river, and he could still recall it clearly. However, Zhang Xiaohua's expression did not change. He raised his right hand, looked at the medicine cloth on his hand, and touched it with his left hand for a moment. Still haven't taken it off.

It was late at night, Zhang Xiaohua turned off the lights and fell asleep peacefully.

In the next few days, Zhang Xiaohua followed Nie Xiaoer to get familiar with the cultivation of various medicinal materials during the day, and spent the evening riding horseback, enjoying a very leisurely life.

But Zhang Xiaohua didn't know that Mr. Yu, whom he hadn't seen for several months, would come over to see them every night.

That night, Zhang Xiaohua was still reading under the oil lamp when she heard someone knocking on the door.

Zhang Xiaohua was startled. This was the first time she heard a knock on the door at night. So she put down her book and opened the door. Through the light in the room, she saw that it was the one-armed Mr. Yu.

Zhang Xiaohua was very surprised and said: "Hello, Mr. Yu, please come into the house quickly."

After Zhang Xiaohua let Mr. Yu into the room and asked him to sit on a chair, he said, "Mr. Yu, I have been back for many days and I haven't seen you. Are you very busy?"

Yu Lao smiled and said: "Don't mention that you have just been back for a few days. In the month you stayed at the villa, how many times did you see me?"

Zhang Xiaohua said: "I haven't seen you for several months, so I'm a little surprised. Why did you come to my place today?"

Mr. Yu said: "There's nothing else to do. I just know you're back and came here to see your injuries."

Zhang Xiaohua was a little flattered and said, "Thank you Mr. Yu for your concern. It should be fine now. I'll let Captain He take a look at it tomorrow and I'll remove the outer bandage."

Yu Lao waved his hand and said, "You don't have to wait for tomorrow. I'll help you remove it now. Whether the injury of this bone is good or not will not be determined in one or two days."

Zhang Xiaohua is rather curious about Mr. Yu's attitude. He has been neither cold nor indifferent to her from the first meeting. Why is he so caring today?

It's quite intriguing.

However, Mr. Yu is an old man after all, and he cares about himself, and Zhang Xiaohua respects his elders, so Zhang Xiaohua allowed Mr. Yu to help him remove the medicine cloth on his hand.

In fact, Zhang Xiaohua's injury has healed, and the medicinal cloth is just a kind of psychological sustenance. As Mr. Yu said, it really doesn't make any difference to remove it today. Therefore, although Mr. Yu has a right hand, with Zhang Xiaohua's assistance, It is still very easy to remove the medicine cloth.

Zhang Xiaohua's right hand was no different from before, except that the skin looked unusually pale, probably due to the lack of exposure to light.

Mr. Yu did not immediately observe Zhang Xiaohua's fingers, but said: "You can try making a fist first."

Zhang Xiaohua followed the instructions and tried to shrink her fingers. This action, which was common in the past, now seemed extremely clumsy, and her fingers even seemed to be unruly. Moreover, Zhang Xiaohua's fingers were curled up to a certain extent, and they could not be moved no matter how hard they were. There was no way to go further, which meant that Zhang Xiaohua could not clench her fists now.

Zhang Xiaohua was very anxious and said, "Mr. Yu, what's going on? My hand... why did my hand become like this?"

Mr. Yu said pleasantly: "Don't be anxious. It's always like this after an injury. In the future, you have to practice stretching and contracting your fingers regularly and you can recover slowly. Now let me show you the details of the bones. "

Then, Yu Lao pinched Zhang Xiaohua's fingers carefully with his thumb and index finger, and observed inch by inch. It took a long time to finish the inspection. Yu Lao raised his head. Under the oil lamp, Zhang Xiaohua could not distinguish his face.

Zhang Xiaohua wanted to ask, but when she looked at her hands, there was nothing wrong with her, so she didn't ask.

Mr. Yu did not tell Zhang Xiaohua how his bones were recovering. Instead, he asked him: "Why do you want to practice martial arts?"

Zhang Xiaohua was puzzled by what she heard and replied in confusion: "Of course it's to protect my family."

"Besides protecting your family, if you learned martial arts, what else would you do?" Yu Lao asked.

Zhang Xiaohua frowned and answered honestly: "No, I haven't thought about it that much yet. I just want to practice my boxing skills first."

This time, it was Mr. Yu's turn to frown, and he asked again: "Then after you learn martial arts, will you be able to hoe the strong and help the weak, and draw your sword to help when the road is rough?"

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua's mind immediately recalled the scene of her father and son being bullied in Lu Town, and the scene of her eldest brother and herself being trampled to the ground by the strong men of Xicui Mountain. She couldn't help but get hot and spit out: " Of course I will. If I learn martial arts and have the ability to help others and support the weak, of course I will do it."

Mr. Yu asked again: "Then are you sure that the weak are unjust and should be helped?"

Zhang Xiaohua said in confusion: "Mr. Yu, I don't quite understand this. If the weak have no reason, how can they provoke the strong?"

Yu Lao smiled and said: "This question is a bit difficult. You are still young and don't have insight into people's hearts. Maybe you will understand it in the future."

Then, he asked: "Then if you want to defeat the strong and help the weak, but the strong man's martial arts is more powerful than you, will you take action?"

Zhang Xiaohua didn't know how to answer this sentence. In Lu Zhen's case, Zhang Xiaolong was of course the one who stepped forward and was not afraid of the strong. The result was disastrous. He could still remember it clearly. Mr. Liu and Liu Kai also earnestly warned him, It’s really hard to answer this question if you have to act within your capabilities.

However, in an instant, a flash of inspiration occurred, and Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "Isn't this the reason why I want to continue to practice boxing and even internal strength?"

Yu Laoyi frowned, then let go, and no longer asked Zhang Xiaohua questions. Instead, he looked at Zhang Xiaohua's right hand and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, although the bones in your right hand have healed, they have been destroyed by internal forces and are no longer the same. Yes, it's like a vase that is broken. It can still be used after being glued back together, but the internal cracks in the vase still exist. This cannot be repaired. If you are not careful, it will still break. This is very important for you in martial arts. It’s a big obstacle, and you must be mentally prepared.”

Zhang Xiaohua did not understand the seriousness of the problem and said with a smile: "In this case, the doctor from the escort agency has told me to recover slowly. Bones can grow. After all, they are different from vases. As long as you can practice boxing, It’s enough if you can cultivate your inner strength, I don’t want to save the entire world.”

Yu Lao sighed and said no more. He just nodded and told Zhang Xiaohua to rest early, turned around and went out.

Zhang Xiaohua walked to the door and looked at Mr. Yu's back in the night. He was very puzzled. What on earth did the old man want to do after staying in his house for so long and asking so many questions? Zhang Xiaohua didn't think it was as simple as taking off the medicine for herself and seeing the extent of her injuries.

However, Zhang Xiaohua thought for a long time and still didn't understand. However, time is the answer to all questions. When the time comes, he will naturally know. Zhang Xiaohua fell asleep after thinking about it, without even blowing out the oil lamp. .

The next day, in the morning, Zhang Xiaohua went to the place where He Tianshu and the others practiced martial arts as usual, stretching and contracting his fingers as he walked, constantly exercising.

Zhang Xiaohua was still the first to arrive. He did not stand up, but clenched his fists and tried a few boxing postures. He found that even without clenching his fists, he could still perform a complete move without any discomfort. However, in some moves, when switching between the fists and palms of his right hand, he felt a little sluggish and his fingers were a little stiff. He must have done it through his own strength. Keep exercising and things will gradually get better in the future.

Thinking about how some time ago, she didn't dare to box for fear of affecting the recovery of her fingers, Zhang Xiaohua felt a little funny. If she had known this earlier, she would have started practicing boxing a long time ago, and she wouldn't have to watch He Tianshu and the others practice every day, but she was getting pricked. Horse step.

However, he forgot that he couldn't clench his fists when the medicine was still in place.

While Zhang Xiaohua was playing happily, He Tianshu and others also came over. He Tianshu greeted Zhang Xiaohua with a smile: "Why did Zhang Xiaohua get up so early? Can't wait to take off the medicine?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and stretched out her right hand, clenched her fist, and said in a show-off manner: "Captain He, look, my bandage has been removed, but my fingers can't be fully bent yet, and I need more exercise. "

He Tianshu smiled and scolded: "You kid, you are really impatient. Didn't you agree to dismantle it today? Why don't you just take off the medicine all by yourself?"

Zhang Xiaohua said seriously: "Captain He, you have wronged me. I listened to you and planned to let you remove it for me today, but last night Mr. Yu came to my room and helped me remove it."

He Tianshu asked strangely: "What's going on?"

So Zhang Xiaohua told He Tianshu everything that happened last night. He Tianshu was also confused. However, he frowned when he heard a few questions asked by Mr. Yu. It was obviously for appreciation, but what was important was Zhang Xiaohua's character. Is it possible that Yu Lao was determined to accept a disciple?

However, the origin of Yu Lao He Tianshu is not particularly clear. He has only been vaguely mentioned by others. He can be regarded as a figure in the world. If he favors Zhang Xiaohua, it is Zhang Xiaohua's fault. But Zhang Xiaohua's hand? He Tianshu couldn't help but have doubts again, and then he felt relieved. This was all other people's affairs. He couldn't accept Zhang Xiaohua, so why should he worry about it?

Then, he thought about the questions Zhang Xiaohua answered, and thought to himself, Zhang Xiaohua is really an honest child. If he were a little smarter, he would have climbed up the pole long ago. Not to mention the lotus flowers in the sky, he would definitely I won't give up, at least I have to show my attitude, for the sake of justice, for peace, for the happiness of Jianghu people, alas, who knew that this Zhang Xiaohua knew how to protect his family and how to practice boxing, but he didn't hear the old saying of Yu If you heard something, if you were really lying on your knees, begging Yu Lao to include it, maybe it would be done.

What a pity.

However, if this is the case, is he still Zhang Xiaohua?

He Tianshu shook his head. Such a vain Zhang Xiaohua is not the down-to-earth Zhang Xiaohua that everyone likes. This world still needs people who can do practical things.

Zhang Xiaohua saw He Tianshu shaking his head and frowning, and couldn't help but ask: "Captain He, Mr. Yu is doing this for my own good. You want to see my injury, so don't be angry."

He Tianshu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He glared at him and said, "Am I so petty? Are you angry because someone took off your medicine first?"

Zhang Xiaohua stuck out her tongue and did not dare to speak.

Then he said: "Captain He, since you are not angry, my medical cloth has been removed and I want to practice boxing. Look, can you give me some guidance?"

When He Tianshu heard this, he immediately took half a step back, prepared to perform Qing Gong, and said: "Let's do some restorative activities first, and review the previous boxing techniques. As for the new boxing techniques, I will tell Nie Xiaoer. Let him teach you, okay?"

After saying that, without waiting for Zhang Xiaohua's reply, he dodged, unfolded his Qinggong movement, and ran away in a flash.

Zhang Xiaohua was left wondering: "Why are you running so fast? Captain He, I didn't intend for you to teach me. I have memorized many complete boxing techniques. I just want you to watch them from the side. Why did you run away?" What’s up?”

Then, when they were looking for Nie Xiaoer and others, they found that they were nowhere to be found?

Zhang Xiaohua was envious for a while, it was great to have Qing Gong.

Since there is no one around to give guidance, Zhang Xiaohua doesn't care. There are so many boxing techniques in his mind, and he has a deep memory of each set. It is not impossible to master them completely, but he doesn't need to be taught by others.

Thinking about it, the corners of Zhang Xiaohua's mouth slowly turned up, and she thought to herself: "When I have perfected my boxing skills, I will take a dustpan to collect your dropped chins."

So, Zhang Xiaohua picked up the stance and started practicing boxing for the first time after recovering from the injury.

Zhang Xiaohua now has a lot of boxing records in his mind, and he didn't deliberately choose them. He just randomly found a set among them, squinted his eyes, searched for his memory, and started fighting with the figure in his mind.

After the first pass, it was perfect, almost exactly the same as Zhang Xiaohua's memory. Zhang Xiaohua was extremely happy in her heart. Was she really not a loser? Is there something wrong with Captain He’s teaching methods? Could it be that only by reading the boxing manual and memorizing it in my mind can I truly learn the complete boxing technique?

A series of questions prompted Zhang Xiaohua to immediately test it a second time, and he was very satisfied with the result. He did not miss any moves. Unfortunately, it was getting late, and there was not much time for Zhang Xiaohua to verify it a third time. He I hurried to the dining room.

But Zhang Xiaohua didn't, or didn't notice at all, that the figure in her mind had faded a lot and was no longer as clear as before.

Now Zhang Xiaohua has entered the role, doing some basic tasks with Nie Xiaoer. He is already very accustomed to using his left hand. He can do anything with his left hand very flexibly. But when he is not very busy, or he feels that When she has time, Zhang Xiaohua insists on using her right hand, although it is a bit clumsy. Today, he deliberately used his right hand, such as holding a small shovel, holding small scissors, etc., because he knew that only by exercising his right hand as early as possible, he could truly practice boxing as soon as possible, because he was able to complete a complete set today. I have mastered my boxing skills, and just thinking about it makes me feel hot.

After dinner, Zhang Xiaohua came to the place where he practiced boxing early. However, he did not stay where he was. Instead, he walked outside for a while, far away from He Tianshu and the others. However, he did not have to worry about He Tianshu not being able to find him. Although it is far away, there are lanterns hanging on the trees, which can be seen from a distance.

Just as Zhang Xiaohua thought, He Tianshu and the others saw Zhang Xiaohua's lantern from a distance as soon as they went out, thinking that he was shy and embarrassed to show off his incomplete moves. He Tianshu even praised Zhang Xiaohua in his heart. I know I'm shy. I used to have a thick skin when I was boxing, and I would forget every move without blushing.

Zhang Xiaohua stood under the tree, calmed down her emotions, and slowly performed the set of boxing skills in the morning again. She was still able to complete the boxing without missing a single move. Naturally, she was extremely happy in her heart, and finally confirmed that she could do it. After finishing a set of boxing skills, how can you not be happy?

He was about to run over and tell He Tianshu the good news, but he thought that he was also practicing martial arts, and it would be too late tomorrow, so he started to think about whether he could do a second set of boxing techniques. , Zhang Xiaohua started practicing the second set without stopping. Sure enough, the effect was as obvious as the first set, and he could still play it completely.

So, Zhang Xiaohua was so excited that she fought the two sets of boxing techniques from beginning to end, over and over again.
